Samarium diiodide is a versatile single electron transfer (SET) agent with various applications in organic chemistry. Lewis structures regularly insinuate the existence of a ketyl radical when samarium diiodide binds a carbonyl group. The study prese...
The crystal structure of kuliokite-(Y), Y4Al(SiO4)2(OH)2F5, has been re-investigated using the material from the type locality the Ploskaya Mt, Kola peninsula, Russian Arctic. It has been shown that in contrast to previous studies, the mineral is mon...
The oxime group is important in organic and inorganic chemistry. In most cases, this group is part of an organic molecule possessing one or more donor sites capable of forming bonds to metal ions. One family of such compounds is the group of 2-pyridy...
Aminophenol compounds are usually employed in coordination chemistry due to their versatility to form metal complexes. Heptadentate N5O2 aminophenol ligands can lead to the formation of lanthanoid complexes with pentagonal bypiramidal (pbp) geometry,...
Beginning with LaFeO3, a prominent perovskite-structured material used in the field of gas sensing, various perovskite-structured materials were prepared using sol–gel technique. The composition was systematically modified by replacing La with...
Even 155 years after their first synthesis, Schiff bases continue to surprise inorganic chemists. Schiff-base ligands have played a major role in the development of modern coordination chemistry because of their relevance to a number of interdiscipli...
